Allok Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Thanks guys. Here is the completed engine- I thought I'd better start painting something. I am very pleased with the way this little guy turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allok Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 A sneak peek/up-date for Erwin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allok Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 The quick mock-up of the assembled fuse. Typically, none of the ribbing I did earlier is visible behind the pilots armour plate. It was fun but I won't be doing it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMurph Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 This is coming along very nice. The pit has a very clean look to it great job makes me want to build one more corsair, I thimk it may have to be an F4U4 this time. I would like to see the pit in paint. Cheers Murph...

Allok Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 I would like to see the pit in paint. Me too Murph! Patience though. There's still a few more bits to put in and I'm going a bit cross-eyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian A. Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Allok, Great job on the engine! And your cockpit is looking superb!! Keep up the great work! Adrian A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Still great work ! But a big Q commes to mind. Why add ribs and detail into the fuselage that once build won't be vissable anymore ? It seems such a lot of work for nothing. Just wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allok Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Why add ribs and detail into the fuselage that once build won't be visible anymore ? A couple of the photo references I've got don't have the armour plate. In these instances, the ribs were reasonably obvious. I wasn't sure how much would be seen with the plate there so decided to er on the side of caution. Some may still be seen under the rear of the seat but you would have to really look.

Allok Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Just for Murph! Cranked up the airbrush and started painting the cockpit. Seat belts are masking tape, buckles are bits of plastic. Shadow is always there to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allok Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Subtle shading is provided using some Tamiya "smoke". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMurph Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Looks great, If I may, you may want to add awash to highlight all that great detail. I think you are doing a fabulous job, this is really going to look great. Cheers Murph... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngoMango Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Allok, how I missed this build, I really don't know, but the work you're doing is just super. That cockpit and engine detailing is spot-on I reckon. I do enjoy seeing people re-work these old revell kits. I have an appreciation for reworking really old kits, as my current Airfix Spitfire Mk 1 has been dragging on for about 2 years, due to headache-inducing detailing. So hats off to you! Top stuff mate, can't wait to see more progress! Cheers Ango. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
